Princess Anne, in an interview with Horse & Hound magazine said that she felt pressure to continue the sport, saying: “Well my mother still rides, at the age of 93. I don’t think there would be much excuse if I didn’t.”
At age 19, she became Patron of Riding For The Disabled Charity in 1969.
Speaking of her involvement over the years, said: “In some ways, what we do hasn’t changed at all. The observation that being on the back of an animal, small or large, can make a huge difference to mental and physical wellbeing is as true today as it was then.”
Her daughter has followed in her footsteps as she did her mother, the Queen. This lineage are winners of gold and silver medal at European championships and Olympics.
